Redfin cited a $367,000 median sale price for the most recent month (up 24.4% year over year), while a separate Redfin page cited $442,000 for July 2026 specifically -- both disclosed rather than reconciled, given the genuine volatility a small, low-transaction-volume market like Chapin's produces.
New construction runs somewhat lower
New construction homes carried a separate $350,000 median list price across 69 active listings -- a real, distinct segment from the broader resale market figures above.
The most expensive Lake Murray-adjacent market in this batch
Chapin's housing costs run genuinely above Irmo's $250,000 median and West Columbia's $262,000 median documented elsewhere in this dataset -- a real premium tied to Chapin's concentrated, high-demand Main Street/lake-town character and its comparatively small housing stock.
Key takeaways
- A real, disclosed spread exists between Redfin's most-recent-month figure ($367,000, +24.4% YoY) and a separate July 2026 figure ($442,000) -- both reflect Chapin's small transaction volume.
- New construction runs somewhat lower, at a $350,000 median list price.
